Comedian Samay Raina and actress Huma Qureshi brought plenty of entertainment to the latest episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2 with a hilarious exchange about the box-office performance of Toxic. Samay took a cheeky dig at Huma over the film’s reported disappointing theatrical run, but the actress was quick to fire back, calling him toxic in real life. His response made the moment even funnier.
The exchange took place during the latest episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2, which featured Huma Qureshi, Krushna Abhishek, Ashish Solanki and Balraj Singh Ghai as panellists. The episode has now arrived on Netflix, and the playful back-and-forth between Samay and Huma has emerged as one of its talking points.
Samay Raina Takes a Dig at Huma Qureshi Over Toxic
During the conversation, Samay joked about Huma appearing on India’s Got Latent after her film Toxic failed to meet expectations at the box office. Taking a direct dig at the actress, he remarked, “Usually people come on India’s Got Latent, and then their movie flops. You’re the first one to flop a movie and then show up here.”
Huma did not let the comedian’s comment pass without a response. She quickly turned the joke around, telling him, “Dude, I just acted in a movie named Toxic, you’re literally toxic in life.”
Samay was equally quick with his comeback. Responding to Huma’s remark, he said, “But at least people watch me.”
The exchange prompted laughter and became a memorable moment from the episode. While Samay used Toxic’s box-office performance as the subject of his joke, Huma matched his humour with a sharp response of her own.
Krushna Abhishek’s Govinda Joke Adds Another Laugh
The episode also featured another comic moment involving Krushna Abhishek and his uncle, actor Govinda. During the discussion, Krushna brought up the incident in which Govinda accidentally shot himself in the leg.
Ashish Solanki joined the conversation with a cheeky remark, joking that the actor might have done it after watching Toxic. The comment added another layer of humour to the discussion around the film.
With Samay, Huma, Krushna and Ashish sharing the panel, the episode featured several playful exchanges. The Toxic conversation, however, stood out because both Samay and Huma were equally ready with their punchlines.
Toxic Box Office Performance and Reviews
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic features Yash in the lead role alongside Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi and Rukmini Vasanth. The film generated considerable attention ahead of its release, with its ensemble cast and scale raising expectations.
Although Toxic opened to strong box-office numbers on its first day, the film reportedly struggled to maintain its momentum in the following days. Its theatrical performance also became a subject of discussion after it received mixed-to-negative reactions from critics and audiences.
The Free Press Journal review awarded the film two stars, pointing to its screenplay, direction, lack of emotional connection and lengthy runtime as major weaknesses. The review concluded that the film did not fully realise its potential.
It was this reported box-office performance that became the subject of Samay’s joke during India’s Got Latent Season 2. Huma’s response, meanwhile, ensured that the comedian did not get the last word without a fight.
